August 8, 1953: In only his fourth start of the
season, Bob starts the second game of a double header against the second place
White Sox and takes a no-hitter to the ninth before Bob Boyd breaks it up with a
one-out double. He retires the next two batters to secure a 3-0 victory.
Earlier in the day, Whitey Ford tossed a 5-hit, 1-0 shutout in the first game
when the Yankees won on a Johnny Mize pinch-hit single in the ninth.

Peter from South Carolina wrote: "My first time to Yankee Stadium was in summer 1954 where the Yankees won a double header vs. the Chicago White Sox: 1-0 & 2-0. Whitey Ford pitched the first shutout and Bob Kuzava, in his ONLY START, pitched a 1 hit shut out - giving up a line drive double to Bob Boyd in the 9th with 1 out! GREAT REMEMBRANCE!"
Editor's Note: Thanks to Pete for pointing out this near no-hitter!
For the record, I have to make a few corrections. The game mentioned was played on
August 8, 1953 and the final score was 3-0. It was also Kuzava's
fourth start of the season. Interestingly, his next appearance was a
start against the Philadelphia A's where he threw a second consecutive
complete game shutout.
